edward ericson replied to the topic VW TDr in Mississippi in the forum Running MGTD Kits Cars for Sale 12 years, 3 months ago

With a few more exclamation points it just might happen!!!!!!!!!

AZ car only got 15k miles it might be worth a few bucks more than normal…

Grind as in “shave?” I salute the DIY notion but . .. .Very close to the red/green rethread-your-own-tires skit. No performance shops around that could shave them for you? Or is that one of those “might as well buy new for that price” deals?

Nice cars. So what was the occasion?
billnparts replied to the topic Building Alfred in the forum My Project 12 years, 3 months ago

Man, that just keeps looking better and better.

Have you looked at tire rack.com?

PPS: Price on Moss Overriders now at $34!!!
dggrant replied to the topic bumper guards in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 3 months ago

I think MG Magic must resell Moss stuff.Moss was also cheaper on a Mosom car cover.BTW: For chrome polish, we Brits swear by AutoSol. It’s German but you can still find it around (Ebay?)

Awesome, dude. Right there at 1:21 and again at 2:31 I can see your car, itchin’ to get in on the action.

That looks like a very challenging course as well.

This is the event I’m shooting for. The chief safety steward here also builds cages and today I managed to get a phone number from him. One step closer.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yo5qP0qglPo

No the steering shaft is enclosed in the body and not visible via left fender (more pics posted)
dggrant replied to the topic Help IDing my TDr Manufacturer in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 3 months ago

I heard a rumor that there was a small manf working out of SW Penna in the 70’s & 80’s. I think someone told me McKees Rocks, which is part of Pittsburgh. I’m wonder if it could be one of these? I thought that the “TD” badge on both the grill and the steering wheel might give it away.

Hi Guys:Thx for the input so far. Here are a few more pics of under the compartment etc, in case it gives up any more clues.Dan
edward ericson replied to the topic Rear End Sway in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 3 months ago

That is negative camber. That’s OK in small doses. Sloppy or “loose” feeling is not though. Keep after it.

There ya go!

Hi Paul:Here are some pics that might help identify my TD manfSo far I’m told that the seat config points to Fiberfab but I have no Manf mark.Things that could help1) The grill shell and steering wheel have “TD” on them2) Dashboard is very simple not like original config.3) I have a 5 gallon gas tank which is under a fitted compartment in…[Read more]
edward ericson replied to the topic Rear End Sway in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 3 months ago

Only one wheel out back has positive camber?

That might be bad. They should both be close to straight up and down when the car is unloaded. Mine both have a pinch of negative camber as she’s on the low side. Seems fine for no (The spec for IRS cars is a little more than 1 degree negative, plus or minus 45′) but it’s something I’ll be addressing…

edward ericson replied to the topic mph vs. rpm in the forum VW Based Kits 12 years, 3 months ago

Right!

clutch slipping–you’d smell that, I hope.

Bad speedo?–two bad speedos bad in the same way? not likely. But a bad speedo cable with a rounded off square key at the hub? That might read equally screwy on two gauges.

Here are your gear ratios in handy chart form. a final drive ratio of 3.67 to 1 is your most likely setup. Looks like it would…

That’s just about perfect, Marc. Nicely done; unfussy.
